RE: Xbox softmodding

["Neil" <automated@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have put a big HD in my softmodded Argos Xbox. The way I done it
requires
you to have a chipped Xbox to hand though.
I backed up the EPROM on both boxes... Flashed my chipped xbox with the
softmodded boxes EPROM... Copied the c drive from the softmodded drive to
the new big HD and locked it in my chipped box. Then installed the big
drive
into the softmodded xbox and reflashed my chipped box back to its original
EPROM.

Sorry Paul, never done a HD upgrade as well, since all my music/videos
are on a separate server.



I believe it is possible but is a bit more complicated than simply
softmodding the existing HD

I might give it a go on the new Argos box I've got, since this will be
going in the youngest sons bedroom (along with PS2.. GC.. Wii) , so it
might make sense to have all the games installed locally.



I'll let you know if I give it a go..



Marcus

Marcus, have you done a HDD upgrade with a softmod? - If so, how did you
find it?
